Detailed Solution

SPHERICAL WAVEFRONT:
When the point source is an isotropic medium, sending out waves in three dimensions, the wavefronts are spheres centered on the source.

Examples of Spherical Wavefronts
Electromagnetic waves in a vacuum form a spherical wavefront.
The concentric circles' formation when the stone is dropped in a water.
An army man patrolling the opposition on the radar through the camera positions the invader with the spherical wavefront symbol.

CYLINDRICAL WAVEFRONT:
In a cylindrical wavefront, all the points equidistant from the linear source lie on the surface of a cylinder, as shown in the figure. The cylindrical wavefront appears like a cylinder. However, if we draw the wavefront from one plane, we obtain a concentric circle like a spherical wavefront.Example of Cylindrical WavefrontWhen rays of light coming out of a lens fall on another lens, they converge at a given point. As they bend and converge at a point, it takes the form of a cylinder.

PLANE WAVEFRONT:

The wavefront will appear as a plane when viewed from a considerable distance from a source of any kind. Such a wavefront is called a plane wavefront. Moreover, the plane wavefront is obtained when the small part of the spherical or cylindrical wavefront originates from a distant source, like infinity. Example sun.
